The familiar north, east, south and west are subdivided to create sixteen zones. During a consultation, these zones may be considered alongside the floor plan, entrances, activities, open areas and the practical needs of the people using the property.

Connect spaces with activitiesThe purpose and daily use of each area are part of the assessment.
Prioritise realistic actionRecommendations should remain practical for the property and its occupants.

Directional associations can vary between schools of Vastu and should not be treated as guarantees. Structural, electrical, fire-safety and health decisions must always be reviewed by appropriately qualified professionals.
